An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that, actually, you think you’re more beautiful than you are. We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to research into what the call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority”, and shown that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities.
We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem, we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff.
Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others, he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’ from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is “an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”. If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image- which must did- they genuinely believed it was really how they looked. Epley found no significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the must (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. “I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion”, says Epley. “It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’. If you are depressed, you won’t be self-enhancing. Knowing the results of Epley ‘s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves, Facebook therefore ,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style. ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle. it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says catalina toma of Wiscon—Madison university ,”but they portray an idealized version of themselves.
According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______ .
A.our self-ratings are unrealistically high
B.illusory superiority is baseless effect
C.our need for leadership is unnatural
D.self-enhancing strategies are ineffective
Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______ .A.rapid watching
B.conscious choice
C.intuitive response
D.automatic self-defence
Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______ .A.underestimate their insecurities
B.believe in their attractiveness
C.cover up their depressions
D.oversimplify their illusions
The word “Viscerally”(Line 2,para.5) is closest in meaning to_____.A.instinctively
B.occasionally
C.particularly
D.aggressively
It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can _____.A.present their dishonest profiles
B.define their traditional life styles
C.share their intellectual pursuits
D.withhold their unflattering sides

听力原文：M: Have you heard that in another few years you may be able to buy a car that changes colors every day to match the outfit you are wearing？
W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work？
M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them.
W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely.
M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody.
W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe.
M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal.
W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible.
M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet.
W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time.
M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time？
W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day.

What will the next decade bring, as we move into a new millennium？ That’s getting harder and harder to predict. Change is coming so fast that some of the most important technologies of the 21st century may now be just a sketch on the drawing board or glimmer in the mind of genius. Then again, the transcendent technologies may be right under our noses on the verge of having as great an impact as the car or telephone.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why？ Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe.
B-21. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be _____.
A、little fun
B、a pleasure
C、a lot of trouble
D、a great danger
B-22. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that _____.
A、eggs break easily on a moving skateboard
B、cars should not be stopped suddenly
C、seat belts are important to safety
D、driving is a dangerous act
B-23. Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A、People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.
B、Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.
C、Air bags will come out before the cars hit something.
D、All cars have air bags in front of the seats.
B-24. According to the passage, air bags are another device that _____.
A、adds safety to car driving
B、is going to replace seat belts
C、comes out slowly to function
D、prevents cars from running too fast
B-25. The best title for this passage is _____.
A、Buy a Volvo with Air bags
B、Make a Car Safe Inside
C、Fasten Your Seat Belts
D、Add Air Bags to Cars
